The Working Water Dog Association (WWDA) was founded for people who want to encourage the working and sporting skills of their water dogs. We are a non-profit association dedicated to promoting and preserving the heritage of working water dogs, as well as supporting their training and welfare.
Our organization is made up of passionate water dog enthusiasts who believe that these remarkable animals deserve to have their natural abilities recognized and nurtured. Whether it's a Spanish Water Dog, a Portuguese Water Dog, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, or any other breed with a love for water work, WWDA is here to celebrate and promote their talents.
At WWDA, we believe that working water dogs are more than just pets; they are athletes, partners, and companions who thrive on challenges and excel in activities such as hunting, search and rescue, dock diving, water retrieving, and more. We are dedicated to providing resources, education, and opportunities for water dog owners to train, compete, and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded individuals who share their passion for these amazing dogs.
Our mission is to advance the understanding and appreciation of working water dogs by promoting responsible ownership, ethical training methods, and humane treatment. We strive to be a valuable resource for water dog owners, offering training tips, health information, and access to competitions and events that showcase the talents and abilities of these remarkable dogs.
WWDA is also committed to supporting the welfare of working water dogs. We work closely with rescue organizations and promote responsible breeding practices to ensure the well-being of these dogs, both physically and mentally. We advocate for the proper care and treatment of working water dogs, as well as the recognition of their contributions to society.

You will also receive regular updates on the latest news and developments in the world of working water dogs, as well as opportunities to volunteer, compete, and contribute to the advancement of the breed.
